# Electric Vehicle Battery Stations Ample Automated Battery Swap Stations Could Drive EV Adoption By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-03-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-swap-stations References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/automotive/ample-automated-battery-swap-station/) & [ample](https://ample.com/2021/03/03/introducing-ample/) The Ample automated battery swap stations are a solution to the problem related to electric vehicles when it comes to range anxiety, [charging and more](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastcharging-ev-stations). The stations work by making use of a building block-inspired battery system that would enable batteries with little to no charge left to be swapped out in an automated manner. The process would take just 10-minutes, which would make it similar to stopping at a gas station and could thus help when it comes to driving up [electric vehicle adoption rates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-vehicle-adoption). The Ample automated battery swap stations are compact with a size that's about as big as two parking spaces and could be easily rolled out to an entire city in a matter of weeks.
